The Art of Power - My Story as America's First Woman Speaker of the House

Összefoglaló

The most powerful woman in American political history tells the story of her transformation from housewife to House Speaker—how she became a master legislator, a key partner to presidents, and the most visible leader of the Trump resistance
At age forty-six, Nancy Pelosi, mother of five, asked her youngest daughter if she should run for Congress. Alexandra Pelosi answered: “Mother, get a life!” And so Nancy did, and what a life it has been.
In The Art of Power, Pelosi describes for the first time what it takes to make history—not only as the first woman to ascend to the most powerful legislative role in our nation, but to pass laws that would save lives and livelihoods, from the emergency rescue of the economy in 2008 to the transformation of health care. She describes the perseverance, persuasion, and respect for her members that it took to succeed, but also the joy of seeing America and the world change for the better.
